?The Long Road?
By Cary Ann Hearst
?Dust and Bones?
Capo on 3rd
G Em Bm
I felt like I was made of stone
C G Am B7
Bone dry from bleeding, every time I through of leaving
C G D
My voice was taken from my mouth
G Em Bm
Then you came through the rain and to my door
C G Am B7
The streets were abandoned, soaked through where you were standing
C Bm Em
And the water was flooding the ground
B7 C Am
So don't call my name if you can't bear the weight
C G B7 C G Bm Em
It's been a long road to feeling alright but I get there one step at a time
C G B7 C G D G
They will string you up, baby, wherever you are just as long as the ropes are tight
Em Bm
So don't confuse me with somebody else
C G Am B7
Who might cower or cry out, cheat, steal from you, or lie about
C G D
What my intentions might be
G Em Bm
Well we might be a couple of jerks
C G Am B7
Who took leave of our senses, set fire to our defenses
C Bm Em
And laid our hearts on the tracks
B7 C Am
Please don't call my name if you can't bear the weight
C G B7 C G Bm Em
It's been a long road to feelin' alright but I get there one step at a time
C G B7 C G D G
They will string you up, baby, wherever you are just as long as the ropes are tight
Em Bm
So lay your ears to the ground
C G Am B7
Can't you hear that train coming, ain't no use in running
C Bm Em
It's bound to roll you down
B7 C Am
Don't call my name if you can't bear the weight
C G B7 C G Bm Em
It's been a long road to feeling alright but I get there one step at a time
C G B7 C G D G
They will string you up, baby, wherever you are just as long as the ropes are tight
C G B7 C G D G
They will string you up, baby, wherever you are just as long as the ropes are tight
